New Red Order
Presented in partnership with DOXA, and aligned with New Red Order’s exhibition “Give it Back” at Audain Gallery, this screening program examines the violence inherent in the ethnographic impulse, unveiling the absurd fetishism underpinning the discipline.
Editors' Comment
Including 18 short films made between 1894 to 2021—many of them from a range of internationally recognized artists—this film program, free and available online to all regions for a limited time, promises to reflect on “the camera is a dangerous weapon, one that has been wielded against [Indigenous peoples] since the device’s inception.” What’s more, the program is aligned with another essential art event: New Red Order’s exhibition “Give It Back,” at Audain Gallery until March 6. —Leah Sandals, content editor
